Or something along the lines of this....

Weskit with Magic Accuracy to go with the skill and MAB

Give it Auto-Refresh OR INT+ stats....and wtf, you got yourself one rocking BLM.

Hopefully it won't be on body armor alone....

It seems to be just stats. If you could add additional effects...

I'm not that sure about this...
It'll be great to be able to do it, but...surely it's just a little too much?
Being able to mod your armour will make you less inclined to try to get the rare/ex sets of the 70's, and i dunno if that's such a great idea.
Having something to strive for is always a good thing in this game, helps from things getting boring.
Hopefully SE will ensure that armour can't be made too good.

They have an alleged 'balanced' tag in the story somewhere...
Let's see their idea of balanced this go-round.

Since they used a gambison as an example, I'm guessing they may say only items without stats can. There's lots of gear there that you wonder why even bother to have with no stats and useless.

"Players will be able to customize certain pieces of equipment by adding two augments of their choice to supplement the item's base attributes"

Could be more than just defense D: Dun dun duhhhhhh. I bet heavily attributed gear (endgame shiz) won't be able to be touched, since improving that ***any more could possibly make some armor just deadly.

They should let us upgrade the look of things. I mean sure having a pimptastic WS piece, or TP would be cool. But I wanna look ~good~ as I pimp-walk around Whitegate

I doubt they will allow augments on armors like that, most likely the majority of the items able to do so will not have many if any stat boosts at all (other than DEF of course).

I'm also kind of worried about this whole thing. If it turns out possible to augment those kinds of armors... I see enough newer players who get bitched at about not having a scorpion harness, or not having a Hauby etc.. and then they FINALLY get the gear they need and I can just here people now...

"This THF sucks! He doesn't have AGI, DEX, STR, Or any augment at all on his Scorpion Harness+1! ghey loln00bTHF! My THF would PWN his ***!"

Think high level crafters will get some advantage, or will you trade it to a God with some cash or an item to make.

I hope Crafters, I like money.

My best guess is that it'll only gear with no existing stats on it other then just DEF on it and no hidden effects, because SE likes to do those types of things.

The photo would be entirely misleading if so, heh.
And also it says "base attributes" , as in plural, so it could be more than Def stuff. Unless, it's SE *** with our heads once again.

There's items that we have that don't have any stats or latents including items as +1 don't give anything but +1 def.

Some items I can show are:

Wool Robe/+1
Studded Vest
Strong Vest

There's lots more even on other types of armor.

So I think they may be augmenting armor like these

It would make the most sense, of course, since armor like that is 100% useless unless someone really needs strictly defense.

This is one of those we are going to have to wait and see things. Since SE is just giving the teaser info we don't know how we are going to be able to Augment armor. Also adding two states will surely not replace any of the 70+ R/E sets since they often offer more than just two stat bonuses and offer better things as a whole.

Probably gonna exclude rare/ex gear and make the rest augmentable. Don't think it will be any game breaking stats though.
